The yearly British festival alternative All Tomorrow's Parties may have begun as an unmitigated tweefest--the bill for the first ever ATP event was engineered by fey Scottish indie-pop minstrels Belle and Sebastian--but this compilation of live and back-catalogue faves, compiled to capture the ethos of the Camber Sands weekender, is a masterful example of the event's increasingly broad scope. For All Tomorrow's Parties, 2001 was the year that post-rock's long-simmering fascination with the technological cutting-edge finally blew up; it's venerable Hoboken guitar-strokers Yo La Tengo that offer the only traditional indie thrill, with the bulk of this compilation given over to a funkier, mongrel-minded avant-garde. Brooklyn soul-hop sensation Mike Ladd weighs in with "I Seen What You Say", a hip-hop perversion of The Make-Up's soul-believer schtick; Brum Krautrock specialists Broadcast introduce the glitch-led sample dynamics of modern electronica to their motorik brew; and even mariachi guitar-strummers Calexico take their melancholic prairie ruminations out into spacier, more ambient lands. ATP fixtures Lambchop and the resurrected Television are conspicuous by their frustrating absence, but all the same, there's plenty here to educate, and entertain, anyone with a passing interest in the future of truly alternative music. -- Louis Pattison

The successful indie weekender has encouraged artists to contribute rare and exclusive tracks from the likes of Autechre, Boards Of Canada, Broadcast, Yo La Tengo and Calexico as well as deleted material from curators Tortoise and The Sea and Cake The success of the festival has led to promoters Foundation taking the unsponsored and independent event to the states where Sonic Youth are curating later this October at University of California Los Angeles. 80% of ticket sales were sold through the all tomorrows parties website. Next Year in April 2002, Shellac have been confirmed as Curators and artists such as Low, Plush, Fugazi and The Breeders are very close to confirming. Gatefold digipak. 2001 release.
